Our Abortion Services

Beware of Fake Clinics (from National Abortion Federation website)

Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs) have a long history of deception. For example, some CPCs intentionally choose their name to mislead women into believing that they offer a wide range of services, including family planning and abortion care, when in fact they offer neither. CPCs may advertise in phone books near the headings of “Abortion” or under “Abortion Alternatives,” “Women’s Organizations,” “Pregnancy,” “Medical,” “Women’s Centers” or “Clinics.” CPCs may locate themselves near legitimate clinics that offer abortion care in a deliberate attempt to lure patients into visiting their centers.

Although CPCs portray themselves as medical clinics and urge women to come in for options counseling, they do not provide full options counseling and generally will not refer for abortion care or birth control. CPCs have used tactics intended to delay and even harass or intimidate women from having an abortion and have given out false and misleading information in order to dissuade women from choosing abortion.

For your own protection, ask the organization you contact if they provide abortion care or give abortion referrals. Evasive and unclear answers to this question should make you suspicious. For help finding a reputable abortion provider, please call the NAF Hotline referral line 1-877-257-0012
